Hey L,
One unfortunate outcome of a man's compulsive p*** use is the impact it can have on those around him, especially his family. Recognize that when a father struggles with a sexually compulsive behavior, the consequences rarely stay contained.
Even if his actions are hidden, compartmentalized, or never spoken about, they often surface later in his children's lives, sometimes years down the road and in strikingly similar ways.
However, this reality isn't about blame or shame.
It's about understanding how emotional patterns are passed down through families, and why certain struggles, such as those around sexuality and secrecy, seem to run in the family. The good news is that understanding these patterns is the first step toward breaking them.
That said, why do kids tend to repeat the same patterns of their parents?
1st, understand that children learn far more from what they see than from what they're told.
That is, when a father engages in compulsive sexual behavior, even if he thinks he's keeping it hidden, his emotional availability and connection with his children are often negatively affected.
Kids may not know the details, but they can feel when something's "off." They sense the distance, the distraction, or the emotional shutdown that often comes with secrecy, shame, or addiction.
And over time, children begin to absorb not just what their parents did, but how they coped with stress, disconnection, or emotional discomfort.
So if a dad used p*** to escape or numb emotionally uncomfortable situations, his children are more likely to develop similar coping strategies, especially if emotional needs weren't being met in healthy ways.
